Report: 0.15 percent of mobile users made 50 percent of all in-app purchases

According to the latest mobile monetization report from app testing firm Swrve, a shockingly small amount of mobile gamers account for almost the majority of all in-app purchases.

In fact, just 0.15 percent of players account for about 50 percent of all in-app purchases, with these players being dubbed "whales" like counterparts in a casino that lose huge money to the house but always come back.

Digging deeper into the report, only 1.5 percent of players pay for any in-app purchases at all, which can include character upgrades, coins, new lives, virtual money, clothes, upgraded vehicles and more.

1.5% is a LUCKY figure considering in-app purchases are predatory and a massive WASTE and those that consciously pay for in-apps are bafoons! It's also a lucky figure at 1.5% because it's no doubt KIDS that make those purchases and the parents don't often feel like contesting the charge.
